Lucy doesn't celebrate her 1st birthday until April 19th, but this cute card would be cute to add to her scrapbook page. But really what I think is that any of these doggy themed birthday cards are great for the dog lover in your life. This card was inspired by Amy O'Neill. The designer paper is a retired 6x6 paper stack from the Foxy Friends suite. I was so thankful to still have a few sheets left.
Colors: Pool Party, Basic Gray and Calypso Coral.
Bella was stamped on Watercolor paper and then colored in with the AQUA PAINTER
The embossing folder is called SPARKLE! Isn't that just the cutest name for an embossing folder??!!

Wouldn't you just love a wagon full of puppies??!!
This reminds me of when our kids were little and we raised Samoyed puppies for approx 13 years. We would put these darling little balls of white fur in the red wheel barrow for a photo shoot. - SO CUTE!!

Today I will start another week long post. This time featuring the stamp set BELLA & FRIENDS

This is such a cute stamp set and I love it even more since we adopted Lucy into our family.

My friend, and fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Debbie Henderson from Maine has a Monday Post on her blog called MERRY MONDAY. All year long she features a Christmas card or project on her Monday blog posts.
So in honor of Debbie, I will post my Christmas Card today

How cute is this? The little antlers are from FOXY FRIENDS Stamp Set, and this card was inspired by Jane Allmark in the UK.
What I changed: I used a different Designer Paper and I limited my sequins to the antlers only.
I'm sure when Christmas 2018 rolls around I will be glad that I got a head start.Here is list to my quick links to contact me or shop with me

My Sentimental Sunday Post for today is the baby shower card that I made for one of day care kids from years past.
When I get to attend events like this and spend time with these kids that I love so much, it really makes me feel old.

I just love playing with my STAMPARATUS! It is so perfect for lining up these 2-3 step stamps. I love this cute little bunny from the SWEET LITTLE SOMETHING Stamp Set found in the Occasions Catalog

Other products used on this card:

Stamps: Sheet Music

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla

Ink: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, (stamped of for the second layer of the bunny)

Time to give you all an update on how I am doing.
The back surgery in October went well, but it sure does take a long time to heal.
This past week I had to have another foot surgery - yup - 4 foot surgeries in less than 2 years.
This one was to remove the screw that was placed in during the March 2016 surgery. Dr told me that the bone in the bottom of my foot was fusing into my joint so he had to remove that bone as well.
This photo might make you a bit queasy, but this is what I am dealing with this time around.
Sorry to gross you all out!!

I used to have such cute little feet, but not anymore 😟😟😟😟
I am already missing my little walks with Lucy, but this should heal in 2 months time so some Spring and Summer I should be good to go.
Happy Saturday!!
Thanks for stopping by!

I surely have enjoyed sharing the Picture Perfect Party Suite with you this week.
If you haven't watched this video featuring the Picture Perfect Party Suite, then this is your chance to watch it. If you are getting this in your email feed then please click HERE to view it on my blog post.

The last cards that I am showing you today using the Picture Perfect Party Suite uses the NEW Whisper White NARROW NOTE CARDS and ENVELOPES.
These narrow note cards Measure 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" when folded, and come with envelopes that fit them perfectly. They are made with the THICK Whisper White Card Stock and you get 20 note cards and 20 envelopes. They are perfect for adding to a gift, and they are just so dang cute!!

The only Designer Paper that I did not use from the PICTURE PERFECT BIRTHDAY 6x6 Paper Stack was this very colorful print filled with circles. I just love polka dots don't you? So I decided to make a candy slider treat. Normally I put in a full size Hershey Chocolate Candy Bar, but I had M&M's on hand so I went wth that. the tag was inspired by Paula Dobson

You've seen my announcement that the Paper Ribbon has been pulled from the Stampin' Up! product line due to production issues, but I thought I would case this card from the Occasions Catalog anyway. What I did to replicate the Paper Ribbon was to cut a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock 3/4" wide x approximately 3 3/4" and snip up on each side. Then I added some of the SILVER BAKERS TWINE (new in the Occasions Catalog) down the center. It certainly isn't the same, but I think it works perfectly well to achieve the dimension on the card.

I didn't have quite as much of the Designer Paper left from this 6x6 sheet because I wanted to trim down the candle piece to look a certain way so I added the leftover strip to some Bermuda Bay Card Stock and added it to the flap of my envelope.
Always remember that your catalog is a great source of inspiration for your card making.
You can also make a horizontal card using the same Candle Print from the PICTURE PERFECT BIRTHDAY Designer Paper

Day 2 featuring the PICTURE PERFECT PARTY SUITE
I love these pretty bows and this is the perfect example for the 2 sided Designer Paper. The confetti is on the opposite side of the bow paper and look how cute - adding the piece to the flap of your envelope.

Card Inspired by Cindee Wilkinson

This first card is so so cute (inspired by ) because everything is cuter with a little panda on it!

I had to tease you with cute little Boa Boa the panda. We bought him at the National Zoo in Texas on one of our Stampin' Up! trips

Inside

How adorable! The prints are so vibrant, and what a fun card! Sometimes it can be hard coming up with kids or teen cards and this would be perfect!!
A second card combining the Panda Party Stamp Set from Sale a bration that you can get for FREE with a qualifying purchase. Inspired by Patty Bennett. This card features more of the stamps instead of the Designer Paper. What cute noise makers!! - and of course, everything is cuter with a little panda on it.

The 6x6 Designer paper comes with the bolder prints on one side with more subtle on the flip side like these stripes.
Card Inspired by Mary Fish

Now I will share with you an important message...

I was really looking forward to the Paper Ribbon but this is what Stampin' Up! has told us...

At the end of November, we (Stampin' Up!) posted a current update about Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (145502) being unavailable for preorder due to environmental audits halting production of thousands of factories across China. Unfortunately, we—along with many other businesses worldwide—have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, we've decided the best course of action for you, your customers, and our company is to remove this item from our product offering.
